Chapter 214 213: Power of Devastator & Strange Black Portal

He didn't see it.

NO!

He felt it.

The disturbance of the space around Divine's fingers could not be seen. To the normal human eyes and even Corey's eyes, the space around Divine's fingers seemed normal. The only unusual thing one would notice was the distortion of the air around Divine's fingers.

As Corey turned so as to observe Divine's actions, he saw an extremely small dark red flame which looked like it was gotten from the flames from Hell, and an extremely small ice cube which emitted a chill that seemed like it could freeze the flames from Hell, form atop Divine's fingers which were still in a flicking motion.

In the next second, Corey saw the dark red flame and the ice cube move towards each other, and what happened next defied all laws of science and common sense.

As the dark red flame and ice cube approached each other, the dark red flame seemingly phased through the ice cube and to everybody's surprise, the dark red flame stayed inside the ice cube.

'It wasn't extinguished?'

A glint of curiosity and surprise appeared in Corey's eyes as he gazed at the burning dark red flame in the ice cube. His gaze moved from the dark red flame to the ice cube, and confusion flashed in his eyes for a second.

'The ice cube isn't melting also.'

Corey thought, then he looked at Divine who had an extremely focused expression.

Divine's eyes which had not left the burning car for a second, gave a brief glance at Devastator which was hovering above his lips and a small smile appeared on his lips.

'Good. I got it this time around.'

Divine thought with satisfaction, and his focus went back to the burning car. He flicked his finger and in the blink of an eye, Devastator… disappeared.

Corey's eyes widened slightly and without hesitation his eyes became purely white. Reflecting in his pupils was the image of a small palm sized cube spinning as it moved through space.

The cube's movement was extremely fast and even with him activating his two talent skills, Focus and Eyes of Omniscience, he still found it difficult to keep track of the cube.

(In One of The Burning Cars)

"Cough! Cough!"

A middle-aged man with a Dutch beard released a deep cough, his expression laced with apprehension as he looked at his surroundings.

"Fuck."

A curse escaped his lips as he struggled to remove a broken glass from his left shoulder. He looked around and seeing his earthen barrier still intact, he released a breath of relief.

"A tier 3 was among that group."

The middle-aged man mumbled and the gears in his mind spun as he pondered on what his next course of action should be.

'If I attack the group now, I'd be outnumbered even if the remaining members of that group are tier 1 or 2.'

The middle-aged man thought, then his eyes went to the injury on his left shoulder and his earthen barrier which was getting hotter as the seconds went by.

"I think I'll just wait here instead. It's better than attacking while being outnumbered."

The middle-aged man seemingly made the 'best' decision and decided to comfortably seat in a cross-legged position, his wariness decreasing by a considerable degree due to the presence of his earthen barrier and the burning flames around him.

His gaze moved to the wound on his shoulder and a slight frown appeared on his face. He opened his right palm and a small vial appeared in his palm.

He opened the vial and poured it on the bleeding wound on his shoulder. A hiss escaped his lips as the pain from the healing of his wounds was higher than his pain tolerance. He gazed at the sizzling wound which also emitted a gaseous vapor and he clicked his tongue.

He blinked and the moment he did, he saw a rotating blue cube appear a few centimeters from his chest.

"Huh?"

A baffled expression appeared on his face and before he could process how in the world the strange cube passed his earthen barrier, the cube touched him.

The instant the cube touched the middle-aged man's body, he felt an unprecedented sense of danger. He tried to act, but it was too late.

The cube enlarged and in the blink of an eye, it covered his entire body like a coffin. Fear erupted from the depths of the middle-aged man's soul and just as he blinked, dark red flames engulfed him from head to toe. And a primal scream was released from the lips pf the middle aged man.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Corey's pure white eyes remained unblinking as he gazed at the burning and screaming man. He saw the man make attempts to put out the flames or escape the flames, but the flames never went out no matter what he did, and the cube of ice prevented him from escaping the flames.

'What a deadly technique.'

Corey thought as his eyes observed how the dark red flames burned the middle-aged man with a very disturbing ravenous ferocity.

"Hey Cap, I think your new technique is a little bit too painful."

Fatty Black Bonez released a soft chuckle as he spoke.

Divine looked at his hands then he gave Corey a brief glance before giving a reply to Fatty Black Bonez words.

"My technique isn't perfect yet."

Divine muttered and Fatty Black Bonez whistled and spoke:

"If you say this isn't perfect, I wonder how dangerous the perfected would be."

"Even I wonder how the perfected technique would be like."

Divine spoke softly then he looked at Rosa and spoke once again:

"Let's get going Rosa. Time's going."

Rosa nodded and in the next second, she started the ignition of the car and drove off.

00:08:54

Corey gazed at his U-Watch, his eyes flashed with contemplation and slight worry as he gazed at the timer on his U-Watch.

He subtly looked at the expressions of Rosa, Divine and Fatty Black Bonez, and similar to him, they all had solemn expressions on their faces.

'So, I might actually die here.'

Corey released a soft sigh then he rested his head on the headrest of his chair. He closed his eyes and with a soft tone, he spoke:

"Rosa."

"Hmm?"

Rosa gave Corey a brief glance, her expression showcasing confusion.

"I want to take a nap. Wake me when something important happens."

Corey said and Rosa nodded.

'Also notify when something important happens Rhea.'

A bird caw resounded in Corey's head and after hearing the bird caw, Corey slept.

(Some minutes later)

"Hey. Hey. Wake up."

A bird caw and a voice resounded in Corey's ears causing him to furrow his brows. He released a soft sigh then he calmly opened his eyes.

"You're finally awake."

A familiar voice reached his ears, and just as he was about to answer, his expression changed as he felt a spatial disturbance nearby.

He looked around and as soon as he did, his eyes widened as he noticed a large whirling black portal some meters away from them.

"What the."

Corey's eyes could not veer away from the whirling black portal, and from the depths of something within him, he felt hunger.

He felt the desire to consume something in the whirling black portal, though he didn't know what. He was baffled about this strange desire which was although not strong, but was disturbingly uncomfortable.

"Kid."

A hand clasped his shoulder, forcefully bringing his attention away from the whirling black portal.

"What's wrong with you kid?"

"Huh?"

A baffled expression appeared on Corey's face as he looked at the owner of the hand on his shoulder- Divine.

"We've been talking to you, but you didn't answer us."

Corey looked at Divine, then his gaze shifted to Rosa and Fatty Black Bonez, both having worried and baffled expressions respectively.

"Sorry about that. What were you talking about?"

Corey apologized then he calmly removed Divine's hand from his shoulder.

Divine raised his brows then he shook his head and spoke:

"We were talking about that."

Gesturing towards the whirling black portal, Divine spoke and Corey resisted the urge to look at the whirling black portal.

Corey looked at Divine with a gaze that said 'Go on.'

"So, the thing is. We're at the end of the bridge of the red sea, and that black portal is either the way to get to the next zone or… it's a trap."

Divine said and Corey gave a brief glance at the black portal.

"How much time do we have left?"

Corey asked and with a solemn tone, Divine replied:

"Not much at all."

"Then why are we wasting time here? Enter the portal."

Corey looked at Divine with genuine confusion since he could not believe that Divine of all people was wasting time contemplating on what decision to make.

Divine released a soft sigh then he looked at Rosa and nodded. Without saying a single word, Rosa started the ignition of the car and without hesitation, she drove into the whirling black portal.
